Modified erection ring

ABSTRACT

A sexual stimulation device for the male includes an erection ring from which extends a rectal rod; the device is made from a flexible plastic having a Shore hardness between approximately 30 and 60.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a modified erection ring.

2. Description of Related Art

Penile rings, also called erection rings, have been in use for centuriesin many cultures and are often employed to remedy impaired potency inmen. Penile rings may be made of an elastic or non-elastic material suchas rubber or, as in the Japanese cultural area, of porcelain or ivoryand by means of a reduction of the return of blood in the arteries causethe generation or preservation of an erection.

In accordance with the findings of medical sexologists, potencydifficulties in men are widely spread and appear to increasecontinuously, particularly with increasing age, and very often result inpsychological and social problems. One reason for the increase appearsto lie, for example, in the increased administration of beta blockers tocombat heart and blood pressure symptoms in men starting approximatelyat the age of 40. Therefore the use of erection rings is alsorecommended by medical sexologists in case of impaired potency.

However, it has been shown that the use of such erection rings for thesupport of weak penile erections and for preservation of an erection areoften insufficient. On the other hand it is known that the anal regionand the rectum are sensitive and that a stimulation of this area canlead to a spontaneous and prolonged erection in many men.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention therefore proposes an erection ring which is characterizedin that it forms a one-piece connection with a rectal rod. In this way asimultaneous stimulation of the sensory nerves in the anal region andthe rectum as well as the conventional pressor effect of the penis ringis possible. In cases of psychologically caused impairment of potency,considerable success can be achieved by means of this combination, whichresults in a spontaneous and lasting erection.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

The invention will be described in detail below by means of thedrawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The drawing figure shows an erection ring in accordance with theinvention in a top view. The erection ring 1 is connected in one piecewith a rectal rod 2, which preferably has enlargements 3a, 3b, 3c and 3dof varied diameters for increasing the stimulation. The erection ringconsists of physiologically harmless plastic materials and in particularof modified styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers, which aredistinguished by great flexibility, high restoring capabilities andgreat static friction. The plastic materials used should have a Shorehardness between approximately 30 and 60, preferably around 40. Thepreferably used styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers are easilyworked by means of all thermoplastic production methods and areparticularly distinguished in that molding without the formation of moldmarks is possible.

I claim:
 1. A stimulation device comprising an erection ring having arectal rod integral with and extending from said ring, said device beingmade from a plastic material that is physiologically harmless and has aShore hardness of between approximately 30 and
 60. 2. An erection ringin accordance with claim 1, characterized by enlargements (3a, 3b, 3c,3d) of the rectal rod (2) with varying diameters.
 3. An erection ring inaccordance with claims 1, comprising a modifiedstyrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers.
 4. The device as claimed inclaim 1 wherein the Shore hardness if approximately 40.
